Jane Edwards and Mark Drury

Jane Edwards - Jane started her career singing in Cambridge based original bands in the late 70s and early 80s. She was also a regular contributor on Nick Barraclough’s shows on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. She then moved to London and toured the world with various bands including the Squeeze songwriters – Difford and Tilbrook. She has also worked with and recorded vocals for artists such as Jerry Cott (Boomtown Rats), Boo Hewerdine, Kimberley Rew, Julian Dawson, Andy Metcalfe and Peter Blegvad. Jane was lead singer for The Fruit Bats. Their album ‘7 Sisters’ was released on BACS Records in England and Festival Records in Australia. Members included Calum MacColl. She also co-formed, arranged harmonies and performed with comedy accapella girl band, Gross Encounters. Their show sold out at the Edinburgh Festival and was recorded for the BBC World Service. Jane has also worked as a session musician and voice artist.

Mark Drury - After spending his early teens playing original material around the folk scene of the mid 70’s, Mark left England to spend five years in Europe. The independent ‘Deutsche-Welle’ movement of the time saw him honing his song-writing and performance skills. Returning to England he played professionally as a live session guitarist before forming the band ‘Maker’ who achieved moderate success and recorded two albums on the Blue Mango label. The last four years have seen Mark playing solo and embarking on many recording projects finally bringing him full circle with a fist-full of new songs and brand new collaboration with Jane Edwards. Mark Drury, as you hear him today, is a result of all that’s gone before. An amalgamation of all he ever wanted to say.
